The Class XII results for the CBSE stream of education were announced yesterday. Rasika Gopal from Noida scored a brilliant 99.6% to emerge as the National Topper. It is going to be a tough time as the number of students with a score bandwidth of 85 to 95% is quite high. Parents as well as students are going to have a busy few weeks ahead as they get ready for college admissions. It is prudent to examine the NIRF Rankings announced in April this year to help you make a conscious and careful admission decision.

There are no real surprises and the clout that the IITs and the IIMs wield is evident in the rankings. It is no wonder that parents across the country strive to prepare their children to take up a barrage of coaching classes and tests in the hope that they would get their children admitted to an IIT or IIM. The biggest challenge that still remains is that none of the Indian institutions have managed to feature in the world’s top 20 or 50 universities. The struggle of creating world-leading innovative research is another problem. Our brightest young minds inevitably end up in the USA, UK, Australia or Germany and focus on creating research in medicine, bio-tech, computing and AI there and earn accolades there. We need to figure out a way to create research output that benefits the commoner, not just big corporations. From low-cost water purifiers, to portable renewable energy systems, creating drought resistant crops, reviving old and forgotten farming practices to cures for life-threatening diseases, the scope for improvement is massive and we need to fill the gap between our growing population of young minds, creating sustainable jobs and the quality of research coming out.
